After the loss of everyone HELENE PARISH loves and horrific premonitions of things she fears are to come, she is drawn to the town of Glenhaven, Tennessee. The town doesn't appear on a map, dead-ending at the end of a treacherous winding road known as the Dragon's Neck. The town's doctor, AMSEL RICHTER, might be the sexiest man Helene has ever met with his over six-foot frame and unusual violet eyes. He has an uncanny ability to get under her skin. And like the townspeople, he perceives things about Helene's psychic abilities that she has kept hidden her entire life. When Helene investigates strange lights in the woods and encounters a terrifying winged being, she is sure Amsel is hiding something. Then, there is the matter of the letter from the birth mother she never knew and the strange timing of its arrival. Helene seeks to understand the invisible world she feels bound to. But will she be able to accept what she uncovers?
'Never turn your back to the ocean, ' the wise say. Whether that be the real blue sea or the ocean of grace, you want to be facing it, ready to take it all in when the tide turns your way. The grace of Bhagavān has carried me from the depths of my afflicted mind to the heights of sublime thoughts completely immersed in his splendour. Repeatedly. Realizing Bhagavān is durgama, difficult, and finding a Guru durlabha, rare. And what happens when the lines between the two objects of devotion blur for you? This book is one such story, a humble tribute to my merciful Guru, Om Swami. But it's not for the non-believer or the first-time reader of my works. Besides, I don't think you will pick this book, but this book will pick you. For it requires a disciple's mind to enjoy the melody of devotion played throughout this work. Think of this book as the diary of a disciple. As a young seedling must weather all storms to turn into a giant tree ultimately, one's faith in God needs to survive the storms of doubt before bhakti emerges victorious. Grace flows unimpeded from Bhagavān to Bhakta then. Precisely the reason you are holding this book.
Walter Pigeon is concerned about the bad rap he and his fellow pigeons have received and is determined to do something about it. A humorous and heartfelt satire about thinking outside the box.
Can a ghost present evidence in court? Can a spirit testify through a witness who is in a trance? Can a house be said to be legally haunted? The answer to all three of these questions is, yes. And the proof will be presented in the following pages. Examined in this unique book are over 25 cases which involve evidence that is supplied by ghosts and accepted by courts of law. Suspects have been convicted of murder and suffered execution on evidence offered by ghosts. Disputed wills have been settled due to paranormal intervention. Houses have been declared legally haunted based on the effects had on the property by the ghost itself. This work - written by a legal researcher and parapsychologist - offers a rare look at the influence the supernatural has had on legal decisions through the ages. All of the cases studied are documented, verifiable and of relatively modern origin. These are not cases from Medieval witch hunting courts. They are not about psychic detectives. They are about ghosts in the modern world (mostly 20th century) and their efforts to find justice from beyond the grave. If ghosts are merely imaginary, it would not be possible for evidence supplied by them to be accepted as proof in courts across the world, including the United States. An imaginary being cannot give evidence! This is a book about ghosts and hauntings written for all readers, even though seen from a legal perspective. It seemed the best way to offer proof about the existence of ghosts - through legal verdicts made by sitting courts. You be the judge.
You're invited to journey with Tony Ingrassia as he unveils the amazing story of how he traveled from the most difficult and painful betrayal of his life to the seemingly impossible destination of forgiveness. After being deeply hurt by the most loved and trusted person of his life, he was left entangled by the invisible chains of the anguish and torment that were holding him captive. Is it possible for a person who's been so deeply hurt to ever overcome the almost unbearable pain that lives in their heart? After enduring the most difficult two-year period of his entire life, Tony unravels the extraordinary series of events that guided him toward the unexpected pathway to his own freedom - forgiving the one who had so deeply hurt him. Initially daunting, the idea of pardoning the one who caused him such immense pain felt insurmountable. Yet, Tony's desperate plea to God opened the doorway to the transformative process that began to change his own heart and life. Tony's heartfelt account leads readers on an honest exploration of human emotion, spiritual growth, and the transformative power of forgiveness. The book transcends a mere personal narrative and stands as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the redemptive potential of forgiveness. "The Journey of Forgiveness" will deeply resonate with anyone who has faced betrayal and hurt and reveal the practical pathway of healing and liberation.

We live in a difficult time. The world is changing in ways that are often complex, confusing, and disruptive to our lives and that can't easily be anticipated. Within such a world, there is a renewed hunger for more direct access to personal gnosis, not dependent on external authorities. Each of us craves a reliable internal compass with which to navigate a world that, in the throes of very large, seemingly insolvable environmental, political, economic, social, racial and cultural problems, is increasingly uncertain. While astrology may not be able to directly address these global issues, it can help us to cope in meaningful ways by reminding us, through an ongoing, ever-evolving conversation between psyche and cosmos, that we have a place and a purpose in the larger scheme of things. Out of this conversation can come not just a clearer sense of identity and purpose, and a greater capacity to effectively navigate one's life, but also a communion with numinous, sacred mysteries. This book narrates the history of astrology's co-evolution with science, religion and culture over thousands of years, and shows how in the postmodern era of increasing uncertainty, it can provide a more direct pathway to deep self-knowledge. The author shows how it is possible to go beyond interpretation into a more intimate exploratory relationship to a living cosmos. 472 pages with bibliography and a useful navigational index.

The northern division of Fiji is a great place to snorkel but it's really hard to find anything online about where to go and what to expect. In the hope it might help you with your visit, we wrote this guide after a month exploring southern Vanua Levu and Taveuni in August 2023. This book is the perfect accompaniment to your trip to the region. You will no doubt hear about cyclone Winston that had a devastating effect on the reefs in 2016. Recovery has been extraordinary and not everywhere was equally affected. There are places where the coral might even be more abundant with unusual wildlife now, than before. This is no reason not to visit. As you will see, there is still plenty of reef in good condition. Despite a reputation for being diving's poor-cousin you will see more snorkelling than diving, and mostly in only a few tens-of-centimetres of water. We travelled with the late Neville Coleman's book Fiji Islands: World of Water Wildlife Guide which illustrates 512 species. We saw 224, of which 207 were while snorkelling. Many are prized sightings by divers but were common on the inshore shallow reefs, especially at night. For native Fijians the ocean is their life and almost everyone knows something about the sea. Many people you meet will have swum, snorkelled or even dived, in nearby locations. The gateway to this region is the sleepy town of Savusavu. Away from the hustle of the major cities, it is a charming mix of visitors and locals, keen to help you with your stay. Savusavu is a peaceful and well-serviced harbour where you can walk the full length of the high street in less than ten minutes. There are well-stocked supermarkets, a range of eateries and a pleasant harbourside park and marina. But it's essentially a South Pacific Island. Don't expect to find well-developed tourism. If you have limited time, plan your trip before you go.
